Why You Should Never Assume When Selling #529 Not assuming a prospect's desires is a strength, but knowing what's good for them? That's a weakness. So too, is the act of taking for granted and presuming, because that instills weakness. Great sellers know the cure is to find solutions that match the prospect's needs. Great sellers know prospects are unique like snowflakes, each with struggles and frustrations. Assuming all prospects are alike is dangerous territory. Lao Tzu wrote, "True words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not true. Those who are good do not argue; those who argue are not good. Those who know are not learned; the learned do not know. The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself." (TTC #81) Stop assuming you know what's best for your customers until you have an open conversation. It's not until they share will you know how to help. The more you help, the more you will help yourself. It's a paradox. I know! But it's also true.  Sales Babble shares selling secrets for non-sellers.  Masterful selling is understanding what buyers want, discerning if you can help,  showing what you have and helping them to make a decision that is good for their business and yours.
